- Click on axis and then click-and-drag the red dots at axes ends to set from and to values. Cursor indicates location of new scale value. Press SPACE bar to change size of cursor and press TAB key to toggle drag speed.
- In Zoom and Pan mode (hotkey Z and X), mouse over layer boundary to and drag to change axis range with real time plot effect.
- In both methods above, letting go of the mouse left button close to a major tick will result in axis from/to value snapping to that major tick
Sheet Based Browser Plot
The Sheet-based Browser Plot, allows for easy visualization of data across multiple worksheets:

Binary Column Type for Test and Measurement Data
A new Binary column type has been introduced for status channels from test and measurement data in graphs:
- Convert a column with two discrete numeric or text values to Binary column. The data get converted to 0/1
- The binary column is plotted automatically with step line style in graphs
- When plotting with multiple other analog channels, the binary data plots are scaled using average Y range value of the other plots, for better representation
Set column as Binary type to change data to 0/1 and plot with step-center line style
